Problem Importing Reflection Map (using GIMP)

Post by decker0311 »

Ok, so I'm doing a run-through of Heal-with-Steel's map-making tutorial and I'm stuck on the reflection map. The color map imported successfully, but Loathing won't import the reflection map - it gives the error message "Loathing only supports 8-bit uncompressed windows bitmaps". I'm using Myth II/Loathing v 1.7.2 final on Windows XP. The final is saved as a bmp - what am I doing wrong? This worked 10 years ago last time I tried it, but I was 13 back then and my brain worked much better lol. Any help is appreciated.

Save it in grayscale as a 8bit (256 color) bmp.
